On that note, like was said previously about lines not making sense in English, there are some weird lines like "Do you have any measures?" Measures for...? Do you mean countermeasures? Personally, I would take these off BT until they get screened by an editor. Last edited by Iskatar; 2013-05-08 at 00:37. |

Umm, I just skimmed through ur TL setsuna. I will omit the awkward grammatical usage for now. There is something I would like to point out.
The ship name is White Illuna. The owner is Matvey. The two port towns are Prepus and Lippner. Also your writing about Prince Jermaine is so inconsistent. Sry, for the criticism.

Just wanted to interject since I just finished reading the chapter 2 translation (I don't follow along in Japanese either) and happen to like Dark Souls, so I peeked at the raw novel.
I noticed the two names for the ship were quite different, so I wanted to elaborate on it. In Japanese, the ship is called 誇り高き白イルカ号 with the furigana showing it pronounced as ゴルディベルーガ号. Thus, the ship would be named The Goldy Beluga, but the kanji itself calls it The Proud White Beluga (イルカ isn't specific to dolphins). It'd sound better as The Proud White Whale, but eh. The author actually uses English words for once, but I suppose we're better off not asking how white turns into goldy. Also, アルトリウス means Artorias (I know it can be Artorius too), not Arturius. Totally not OCD about that nope. |

It is Jermaine <----- there exist people with this name. Assvarian are English considering that the founder of the country is based on King Arthur and just look at the princess name and you will know. Anyways, if you want me to do anything drop by my talk page on BT and post it.

Having edited this a little more now, I'm fairly sure that neither "Germane" nor "Jermaine" is 100% correct. "Jermaine" is a recent English bastardization of "Germain", which is a name that dates back to the "correct" period, but is French. I'll leave the choice of lesser of two evils to someone else.
Edit: Looking further, I'm confused at the use of "Prepus". The Chinese uses this as well, but the Japanese raw clearly states "このあと君はプシェプス..." (p.76) I'm just not seeing how "プシェプス" becomes "Prepus". (Edit #2: Nvm. I think I know. The OCR probably failed and converted the シ into レ.) Last edited by Hiyono; 2013-05-09 at 17:05.

Yes. After glancing at the wiki entry, it is indeed Muma, the Curse of (the) Reversal(?) - Houju no Genbu. As far as I know, Muma doesn't have another name yet like Hollow Shadow or Luminous Flame, though I might have missed it. She was chosen at the age of 12 and given the land of Brest as her domain.

Don't the Viralts only have one alternate title each, same with their Vanadis (save for Elen who has two)? Or do you mean Muma's lack of elemental affinity in its title? I'm confused. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
I actually love that in-joke. Giving Olga, the flattest of the flat, a territory named ブレスト, and she ended up being overwhelmed by the size of it her self-confidence crumbled and she ran away. Gonna be funny if this series somehow ends up connected with the author's other works and suddenly the Viralts are revealed to be actual dragons in weapon form much like in his other series.
